The Smart Development Forum is an excellent balance between science , and business. Congresses like the SDF are needed for a simple reason: the whole business-science trust is based on human relations. The forum provides an opportunity for dialogue and learning about each other's capabilities and limitations. It is extremely important to talk behind the scenes, participate in panels, through which we build the conviction that the foundation is people. The worlds of business and science are completely different, but during the Smart Development Forum they are united by dialogue and jointly finding compromises and ideas for a better tomorrow
